Why are most people unable to preserve capital during a crypto bear market?

Many investors fail in a bear market due to a lack of discipline and systematic strategies. The big players use clear tactics. This article summarizes the key lessons so that you don’t get ripped off.

1️⃣Money Management: Risk Control is Key

- Don’t go all in: Always keep a reserve. Allocate capital: 60% for long-term spot, 30% for short-term spot, 10% in cash. This will allow you to buy more on the bottom.

- Maximum stop loss of 10-20%: You won’t always be right, but you can control your losses. If the price drops 10% after you buy, take a stop loss to avoid big losses (-90%).

2️⃣Trading Strategies: Follow the Trend, Avoid Excessive Movements

- Trade Only Major Coins: BTC and ETH are your long-term assets. Avoid "air" coins and dubious projects that often lead to losses.

- Follow the Trend: In a bull market, buy on dips. In a bear market, stay away. BTC above the 200-day MA is a sign of a bull market, below it is a bear market. Do not succumb to short-term fluctuations.

- Have a Plan: Always determine the entry point, stop loss and profit target before starting a trade. Strictly follow the plan, do not change it spontaneously.

3️⃣The Principle of the Minimum: Do not make fatal mistakes

- Never trade with high leverage: Leverage can make you rich overnight, but it can take everything away just as quickly. Use a maximum of 2-3x, it is better to trade spot. Most liquidations are due to excessive leverage.

- Make sure to take profits: Paper wealth is not wealth. In a bull market, gradually lock in 30% of your profits in USDT/fiat. Withdraw some of your funds for real-life investments. Use these funds to buy in a bear market. Cycles change, so taking profits is key.
